Drumstep 

Drumstep is the incestuous lovechild of Drum 'n' Bass and Dubstep; taking the half-time swagger and wobble from Dubstep and mixing it with the general tempo and cadence of an Amen Break.

A few early stand out producers within this subgenre are Dub Foundation and Heist. Additionally, many current Drum 'n' Bass and Dubstep producers have written and produced Drumstep tracks or remixes. One such example might be Rob Swire's Drumstep VIP mix of "Witchcraft", from his band Pendulum's latest album, "Immersion"

dnb step/drumstep 

DnB step, also referred to as "DnB dance" and "drumstep" is a weird kick-ass mix between c-walk and jumpstyle, mostly danced by eastern europeans, for some reason. Probably because it's freezing to death there and they need some way to heat themselves up.

Practitioners are usually referred to as "steppers", "junglists" and/or "drumsteppers". A well-document step would be "X-outing", where they look like bunnies hopping around without actually leaving the same spot.
